Wild Reign|Wolf's Rain Role-Play|Open

Courfeyrac drifted carelessly on his back with a relaxed smirk, eyes closed as the water lapped at his human body. As Luna trudged out, he allowed his legs to sink down to stand in the wispy sand below the water, raising an eyebrow. "Hey! Where ya goin'?" He questioned the fae when she padded off without a word. Far too comfortable to pursue her, he simply shrugged. "Alright, suit yourself." He murmured quietly, relaxing backwards to once again float on his back. "Wonder why she keeps running off." He muttered to himself. "Eh, she'll be back later." Courf convinced himself with a relaxed smirk, closing his eyes to soak up the weak sunlight.

Luna

Luna sat there for hours. She sighed "I need to start telling Courf where I'm going." she slapped her forehead, this was all on her. Luna jumped up when she heard footsteps on the other side of the door, she ran to the chair and sat down as if she were still bound. The door slowly opened, revealing the crazed scientist "Ready to talk?" He held the syringe in his hand with the green fluid "No." she growled. He frowned again then walked towards her "Well, I'm sorry for you." He got close to her, this was her chance. She jumped up then grabbed his head between her hands and twisted as hard as she could. She heard a crack then his body went limp, she dropped him onto the floor then grabbed the syringe. She carefully left the room then closed to door, if she was quiet she could easily get out of here. She tiptoed her way towards the main entrance, she almost ran right into the two guards who were guarding the labs.

She gripped the syringe in her hands the swiftly jabbed it into the man's leg and injected the fluid. The man screamed at the top of his lungs and fell to the ground, his hands holding his left leg. The other soldier bent down next to him "What's wrong?" Luna took this as her chance to run past them and run to the double doors. She unlocked them then ran outside, the fresh air smelled so good. She ran through the forest, her hair sometimes getting caught in branches. Finally, she arrived at the waterfall "Courf!" she called, she didn't know if he heard her so she just jumped in. She swam to him then grabbed his arm "We have to go." she looked at him then swam to shore and jumped out before waiting at the water's edge. Luna waited for him then ran the way they had come from "So that's why the soldiers didn't follow us in, they knew that we would have gotten caught." she muttered to herself. She used her wolf form then run faster, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the white snow and felt the freezing air. "That place was a trap." she slowed to a walk, her body still hurting from the injection. "They made that place to attract wolves, I don't know why." She winced as a shooting pain surged through her chest "Let's just get to the city and find the maiden."

In his relaxed state, Courfeyrac had tuned out his surroundings- that is until he felt a sudden grasp on his arm. Flinching and scrambling to stand in surprise, he let out a sigh of relief to see it was Luna. "Holy hell! Can't a guy relax in peace!-" He exclaimed, though quickly cutting himself off when he noticed his friend seemed to be distressed. Raising an eyebrow, he leaped into his wolf form and trudged to shore, pausing to violently shake out his light brown coat then dash after Luna. "What are you talking about?" He yipped loudly, hurrying to catch up with Luna's frantic pace. "What? Dammit! I knew it was too good to be true..." He growled, glaring downwards, then back at the path before him. Letting out a heavy sigh of disappointment, he nodded. "Might as well..." Courf murmured, trotting after the she-wolf.

Luna

As they trudged through the snow it started to snow again "Of course.." she sighed. She stayed near the wolf, if they got too far away from each other they could easily lose each other. "Well it was nice while it lasted." she chuckled as they walked through the blizzard. She wondered how far away they were from the city, she knew it was at least a two days walk, if they didn't stop. Luna could still remember the pain she felt when that crazed man injected that fluid into her, what a cruel way to get someone to talk. "Those people led me there, they took the deer and dragged it to this building, they knew that one of us would follow it." She growled at herself "I was stupid enough to fall for it." She looked at him "This man grabbed me and put me in this empty room, he was trying to get me to tell him where you were." She looked forward again "He had this..stuff it was green. I had never seen anything like it." she took in a deep breath "He uses it to get people to talk, he gets them to break." She remembered the pain "It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life, you couldn't even imagine it."

Luna yawned, this had been an eventful morning. She was extremely tired but she wanted to keep going, but maybe it was a good idea to stop and rest. Luna looked up and saw something in the distance, a cave. She trotted up to it and sniffed "It smells like no one has been here in a long time." she walked in and continued to sniff around, it smelled of wolves but it was very old. "We can rest here." She walked to the back of the cave and laid down, facing the wall. The cold breeze fluffed up her fur, making her look rather fluffy. She laid her had on her paws and tried to sleep, but her mind was being haunted by that man. It seemed that his face was burned into her mind, making her fearful. She could only imagine what he would have done to her if she didn't talk. Would he have killed her? Or would he keep her alive and continue to torture her? She didn't know and she didn't want to think about it.

Courfeyrac wrinkled his muzzle in a look of disgust at the events Luna told him. Stumbling a bit as the snow suddenly got deeper, he recollected his footing and shook the white powder from his head. "That's horrible." He finally responded with a low snarl, flattening his ears against his skull. "Now you know why I hate humans...." He added, making careful to pick his paws up high in order to navigate in the belly deep snow. "Well, at least you're okay." Courf said with a warm smile, glancing up at her. Squinting to see through the blowing snow, he detected what Luna had spotted. A cave! Tongue bouncing from the side of his jaws, he bounded through the snow and stumbled onto the dry, stone flooring of the cave, instantly halting to give his pelt a hard shake. Though the stone was cold, it was a relief to his numb paws. Living in the city most of his life, he hadn't experienced traveling in snow often. Padding to the dark corner of the cavern, he slipped down to his belly, lazily sprawling out with relief. "Ah. This is more like it!" He murmured with a smirk, rolling to his side. Sitting up, he raised an eyebrow at Lunaas as a question popped to mind. "How much further to Jagura's city?"

Luna

As she laid there she looked to Courf who asked a question "A few days." she stood up then padded to the mouth of the cave then sat. She watched the snow blow by, she wondered what Henry was doing, how he was holding up. She whined as thoughts came into her mind, what if he was hurt? What if he needed her protection? Luna felt guilty, she wished she never followed the smell of Lunar flowers. She should have went in the opposite direction, if she did she would still be with Henry. But if she did that they would still be hunting down wolves. She lowered her ears then stood back up and walked over to Courf then plopped down next to him. She sighed then laid her chin on her paws "Do you think that the maiden is still there?"she asked, she wanted to believe she was but she could be gone by the time they get there. She just had to hope.

[Jackkdaw]

The chestnut wolf stretched his jaws in a long yawn. Licking his muzzle, Courfeyrac lowered his head down to read it on his forepaws, sweeping his tail around his side for a sense of warmth. At Luna's words, he flicked an ear and lazily gazed over at her without moving his head. "She's gotta be. I mean, even if she's not there, it's not like the city will be a complete waste. It'll make a good resting point and somewhere to get our new lead on finding her. Besides, I don't see why she wouldn't be there. Seems the Nobles really want her." He murmured quietly, letting out a quiet exhale once he concluded his sentence. "I wouldn't worry too much about it. I mean, odds are, she won't be going anywhere by the time we get there. Worrying like that'll only stress you out, y'know." He raised his head to flash an encouraging smile at Luna.

[silverMarie]

Luna

She listened to his words the smiled "Yeah, I'm sure she'll still be there." She wagged her tail before sighing "I can't help but worry." she raised her head then looked outside again "It's dark out, and the snow stopped." she stood up and walked outside. The moon was bright in the sky, sending it's energy down to earth. Luna felt energized by the full moon, making her want to run forever. She looked to Courf with a large grin on her face before running around and sliding in the snow. Luna wagged her tail happily as she laid in the snow, she felt like a pup again. She barked then tackled Courf before running around again. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this good.

[Jackkdaw]

Courfeyrac returned the smirk and dipped his head a bit. Turning his gaze to the outside, he hopped to his feet, immediately knowing what a full moon meant. Standing in the shallow snow, he grinned upwards, soaking in the pale moon beams. "I haven't seen a full moon- in my true form before. This feels... Great!" He yipped, rearing up as he was suddenly barreled onto his side by Luna. Flopping over, he shook his head and chuckled, leaping back to his paws and bounding after the fae, tail wagging. With his tongue playfully bouncing from the side of his grinning maw, he ran circles around Luna, feeling overjoyed with his newfound energy. He suddenly locked his forelegs, forcing himself to a hard stop and spraying snow forward from the motion. Straightening up again, he threw his head back and let out a long, joyful howl, a song to the moon. He just couldn't help it! Ears laid back, he let his voice ring out to the heavens.

[silverMarie]

Luna

Luna heard Courfeyrac's howl and stopped what she was doing to howl with him. What wolf didn't howl at the full moon? She hoped that Henry could hear them, so that he would know that she was happy and still alive. She dropped her head again then trotted around, her tail held high and her ears perked. She romped around Courf then bumped into him again, she laughed then backed away. She couldn't remember the last time she played with another canine before. Se charged at him again then nipped his shoulder playfully before running off. She looked back and grinned then surged forward. She thought she could keep away from him but she slipped on a small patch of ice and slipped onto her side. She huffed then laid there, she turned her head to look at Courf, "Darn ice." she chuckled as she continued to lay on the snow.
